Case Complete to Interview April 2016

[Edissa508 8]

Are the pictures organized in some type of chronological order? Is it possible to take them to Kinko's, staples and have them copy them on printer paper in order? Of tbats feasible, you can do a collage of the pictures into printer paper, place them in document protectors, and then a paper/plastic 3 ring binder or some type of accordion file with tabs. The binder could fit under the glass or you can easily pull out the documents from the accordion file and slide under the glaas.

Great idea. Thanks Shs173

Sad news is I anticipate around my husband and I's (is that grammatically correct or even a word ?)1 year anniversary we should have an interview date. Great news is...at least none of us aren't just starting out?! Come so far....

From what I am seeing right now it will be around July for an interview date. We just hope for a sooner date. You are right at least we are not just starting the process. Your anniversary is one day before ours

Thank you very much. I will try and fix the mistake by sending my wife with the updated forms to the interview. Edited March 7, 2016 by picobenz

Just so you know...someone called at the beginning of the month and was told that JA had just started scheduling. I am not sure if all the slots have been taken up or not (thinking about calling) but typically (from my reading here) they schexile through the 2nd week of the month...the end of this week--depending on available slots and case volume. Based on the spreadsheet, it appears its about 60-65 days (+/-) from the CC date for interview date notification.

So! I finally got a minute to tell you VJer's about my interview, I don't know if it goes here, but if not please tell me and I move the post (i didn't find another place to do it).

First of all Good Luck and Quick journey to all of you who are still in the process. My husband and kids had their visas approved on Monday Feb. 29th, althoug we don't have them in hand yet.

The interview was very good and fast. We had our appointment set at 9am, we arrived at the Embassy at 8:30am (we have planned to arrive earlier but we have a hard time finding a place to park the car, finally we left it at the parking lot of "La Rural".) A girl who was at the entrance asked us about our case, when we said we where there for an immigrant visa she told us to go to Window 1, there they asked for a photo of each (only for the applicants, they didn't asked me anything as a USC), once we gave the photos we were asked to wait a for a moment, after 10 minutes they called us again, they gave us the famous green folder and said we could come in.

We went through Security and after that to get my husband fingerprints taken, we must said that, at every step they reminded us we didn't need to wait in any lines. In the waiting room we put our documents in the folder and when we were finishing an agent call us to Window 5. She asked for every document and after some doubt about my husband Birth Certificate (it was an original one, from 1977 and instead of saying Certificate it said Testimony) she told us the consul would evaluate if the document was valid. After she got all the documents she told us to go back to the waiting room and that the Consul will call us after a while.

After about 40 minutes, the Consul called us to the same Window 5, both the consul and the agent thank me for going to the interview with my family. The Consul was really friendly, she only asked us a few questions such as: When we met, If we got married in 2010, why we wanted to get back to the US, if my Husband was going to expand his business (from argentina) in the US. After that she said we were approved and gave us some papers with our A-numbers and information on the Immigrant Fee. All the interview was in Spanish, we were there for only 10 minutes (at the most). We were inside the Embassy for an hour and a half.

We are now waiting for the passports and envelopes, we have tickets to the US for April 2nd, our POE will be Miami.

Will get back to you with more info when we arrive.

Thanks a lot for all the information we were able to get from the forum members!
